Linux 2.4 Kernel on Xilinx Virtex4 FX100's PPC

[Peter Ryser]

There are some silicon issues on the PPC405 in V4 with PVR 0x20011430 
which are documented in Xilinx solution record 20658. All these issues 
are fixed in silicon where the PPC405 has a PVR of 0x20011470.

Said that it's not true that the caches cannot be used in silicon with 
PVR 0x20011430. The problem is a corner case which does not show in 
typical designs.
